Technical Details
Trade Name: Dhanuka Targa Super
Common Name: Quizalofop-ethyl
Formulation: Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC)
Active Ingredient: 5% w/w Quizalofop Ethyl
Chemical Class: Aryloxyphenoxy Propionate (AP Herbicide)
Mode of Entry: Systemic, Post-Emergence Herbicide
Mode of Action
Disrupting Fatty Acid Synthesis
-
Quizalofop Ethyl is absorbed through the leaves of grass weeds and translocated to the growing points and roots.
-
It inhibits the enzyme Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACCase), which is essential for fatty acid biosynthesis in grass weeds.
-
Without fatty acids, the weed cells cannot build membranes, leading to growth inhibition and eventual death.
Systemic & Selective
-
Moves within the plant after absorption, ensuring complete control of weeds from shoots to roots.
-
Does NOT affect broadleaf crops, making it safe for mixed cropping systems.
